My One Question (Lyrics)

Ugh
Mic check 1,2 

Its The RaRity with one question 

(Are You Listening?) 

Thats all I want to know
For real (haha) 

(Are You Listening?) 

Thats right

So that right there is 'My One Question'
And these that follow are my many statements

So here we go 
Ride With Me 
Vibe With Me

Listen..

Getting in the mode thats letting them know
I'm never letting go of the metaphysical approach
That unfolds when I stumble over metaphors that touch the soul
With an unforced form of performing
You feel fortunate for it to begin
Before the end is coming
Its nothing for me to come up with something
The publics wanting so they can bump in their ride
Or hum on the job
Once you adjust to the sound
You trust your frown
Feels it must turn around
My thoughts compounded with the loud speaker
Gather proud people that want us all to be equal
To forget all the bullshit we're looking at on a daily basis
Thats making us crazy
The worlds breaking us down
Broken spirits in every town
So I bring hope in lyrics and never let you down
I'm now about to astound all of us 
All at once y'all adjust to what I'm conduct
I'm one fuck up away from losing it all
So today I do this music for y'all
Spewing it raw and in the moment
Proving jaws are staying open 
When your taking notice to the way I'm quoting
My latest potion making folks say joking
They know every word in every flow I'm loading
Don't provoke me or I'll be revoking 
These cold flows evoking
The feels no one else is knowing
Your dealing with the realest homie
Flowing in a zone showing I'm no pro
Still going solo with a flow so throwed
Also no major label behind me
Or my rhyme scheme this is my dream
The way I foresaw it before y'all targeted
Me as the new artist whos art is far from heartless
I'm not jogging no victory lap
I'm sprinting to give them my delivery back
In its original form 
Leaving criminals torn
Between being righteous
And deciding what right is
The shit your talking smells like the wrong scent
My chips are all in regardless what the song meant
To you or I its a new society 
Compared to what our parents might of scene
I'm likely to write these priceless rhymes 
At any time of day
It can be midnight or midday 
At Hobby, Bush, O'Hare, or Midway
How could you not picture me on top
Before its all said and done
I will not stop believing deep down
This is what the people need now
Its not a freestyle just me being wild
While wowing the crowd knowing what I'm about
I'm accepting of the people expecting my blessings 
That comes from my essence in the sentences
I'm sending straight out of Texas
Its intense when my intentions 
Are ingested in the intestines
Of the helpless and less than fortunate
Why should I put a cork in it?
When I'm highly respected
And betting your perspectives been affected
Its now time for My One Question 

(Are your ear drums open?) 

Thats all I want to know, are they?

You can feel 
I'm keeping it real
And always will 
I'm filled with that skill
Thats willing to thrill 
Lets chill for a little bit
To really be feeling it
As I reel you into my mind, my heart, and soul
How do I know where to go 
In order for your eye to follow
My pleasure, pain, and sorrow
I'm on a roll, whats next?
Me winning the lotto
How low can I go to show your dome
My flows no longer so-so
Take a photo if you don't know 
So it can last longer 
No one can have a flash harder
Or brighter than mine
Its scary I'm not even in my prime
Thats right I go by The RaRity its time
For me to be gone with these lyrics beyond
Most minds comprehension
Its not my fault y'all didn't get it 
Quit tripping
So what if I'm getting repetitive 
Again, this is My One Question 

(Are You Listening?)

My One Question

No Airplay (lyrics)

You know there's No Airplay
You know there's No Airplay
For The RaRity So

I'm impacting their day
With No Airplay
They stare amazed
At my rare ways
That will paralyze the pair of eyes
Fixated on the way
I relay the speech on the beat
With no delay (no delay)
Don't hate it if you haven't donated
Time to my rhyme
On a whole different pedestal
I know the messages intentions
Get lost with the level of the treble and the bass
Its beautiful to trace
The illustrations that made
There way into the brains
Thankful for another to day to pray
And have a chance to procreate
Or go out at take our fate day by day
Patiently the way it was meant to be
You can call it destiny
Or preordainment
We forgave and then were saved
With no need to deprave and obey
Only the way a slave could say,
"Wait is this really happening?"
Rapping it as if the past hadn't existed
The wit with which I spit is quick
It can't quit, can it? It can
Bits and pieces
Fed to you through a thesis
Needless to say I'm student who listens when the master teaches
It seems this frequency reaches
Beyond Atlantic and Pacific beaches
It speaks to the soul
If you dont really know
Here we go people
Feel the force
Within the voice
Bringing joy and rejoice
To the boys and girls
Searching for a purpose in the world
And sad that it hasn't unfurled
Be sure your day will come for
Better not worse
Your situation occurred
And its for your benefit
You just don't get it yet

But go ahead and keep that head high (yeah)
No matter what everything will be fine
Thats on my life
Just hand me the mic
Cus my fly rhyme's the kind
To give sight to the blind with every line
Getting caught in the web of your memory
Feel blessed to be breathing another week
And get to see ecstasy
When I'm expressing myself I'm felt
Efforts never lessening
So I'm forever impressing
Those surrendering and resting
With a similar mentality
Been down to be the MC
The people in the street (Me)
Seek to sneak a peek at (The RaRity)
Relax I'll be back
Before its all said and done (right)
Cus I'm one of them young guns
Coming up constantly stunning us
Yeah y'all that's just what's up

"I know we struggling
But we got to find a way (Yeah)
Through all our ups and downs
We'll see a brighter day" (ugh)

Let's pray

Lord
I'm grateful for everyday
Even when the pressure seems like its too much to take
All I got to the say to you today
Is 'Thank You' for showing me the way
Even with No Airplay
Thank You for showing me the way

Yeah
You know
You know

Its The RaRity 

Here We Go

Should I talk about the pain
Or show them the light
The way I write 
Might not show up in your sight
Thats alright all day and all night
Long as I entice one mind twice its all good
From the burbs to y'alls hood
I'm the cause for the long pause
And y'alls jaws dropping
Guess what? I'm not stopping
C'mon y'all I got this
Thinking not is nonsense 
A bit of this knowledge is from college
The rest is common sense 
Experience my spirits lyrics
Fearing absolutely nothing
When I'm truly coming up with something
Unforced from the one source of everything
Are you getting me or ignoring and forgetting me 
My story breeds plenty seeds needing to be freed
Indeed thats what I seek to see day and day out
Realize The RaRitys music is what you need to play now
Until its played out
Get the volume raised loud
So my flow can go amaze all
As I take off I say sayonara to the players
That ain't on the same plane 
I maintain in my brain
They say my games insane 
When I aim to entertain 
Speeding down the highway in the center lane
Believing I'm on my way to getting paid
In more than just dollars 
So much so well known gold diggers feel they must hollar
Like I'm gonna be the leagues number one baller
Thats right a shot caller just slaughtered 
Every particle of the art for his heart to soar 
Am I par for the course? 
Or more towards changing the record books
You better look for the clever crook
Stealing your heart anytime you let him look
And see within you while feeling him
My mind spins when I'm rhyming
You gotta rewind it to find it
Your excited I'm refining my timing
Put your hand to the dial then
Turn it to the right again
If what I'm suggesting is better than expected
You'll be remembering it better than an elephant
Understanding what your telling him
Developing my own style
Talking about evolution and revolution in my music
Makes it so wild to you and your child
And now look at the Thanks I Get 
and now look at the Thanks I Get 
and now look at the Thanks I Get wow  

Look at the Thanks I Get 
The Thanks I Get 
The Thanks I Get
I'm so appreciative of the Thanks I Get 
The Thanks I Get 
I'm loving the Thanks I Get 
The Thanks I Get
I'm so appreciative of the Thanks I Get 
I'm loving the Thanks I Get
Thats true its true I do love the Thanks I Get 
The Thanks I Get

Without the internet The RaRity doesn't exist 
That is the Universal Sound 
The internet is what connects us all 

Let's go 

It's The RaRity 
Mic check 1-2 

Welcome to Universal Sound Part 1

Here we go 

Listening to me I bet they feel 
Super high and Superfly like Curtis Mayfield 
The memory the day held couldn't be felt long enough 
To bring you back to the moment 
So I'm going to go ahead and make another memory 
For you to remember me by 
Why would I try to fly high in the sky
When all I gotta do is allow my mind to just be 
By golly the people got to see 
My abilities nothing like they've ever seen 
I free my inhibitions by kissing the past goodbye 
Doesn't look like it's gonna be coming back 
You've got to be loving that 
I'm stunning with facts 
Soon to be running rap 
In your mind once you vibe with mine 
I say I'm not quite in my prime 
Still they stay playing out my rhyme 
While they're on the job
Out on a run, or on I-45 
On a drive back down by Cullen and Elgin 
The publics adjusting 
To what's pumping them up in this day and age 
My music came to save the races enslaved 
By the way the system keeps the oppressed poor and dumb 
Struggle in for crumbs and it's such bullshit 
Once you look at it from this perspective 
Nothing less than impressive is meant for them to accept
At this present time I was sent to rhyme 
Like the lime light shines bright inside my sight 
Even though don't 
You know I'm dope 
Go ahead let that's thought soak in 
If you don't get to get the messages I'm sending 
Give it a moment
As I go more towards  
The force from the source
For my voice to show you my soul 
Who am I to flow like I know 
I was chose to throw the correct words 
For your woes to go away for the day 
Or maybe only a split second 
Either way this essence 
Does its best to not stray away from the heavens 
What I'm telling them is relevant 
Get in the driver's seat of my perspective 
Let's go on a journey 
You're not in a hurry but I am 
Not worried about a damn thing 
Cus I can see my future's looking dandy 
In the land of the candy paint 
You can say that I aint 
But that ain’t gonna change a thing 
I do my best to trace the seed 
Peace is what I seek to see 
Deep is all you can think 
It doesn't seem to sink in 
Until your thinking about what your linking together 
And then you tell yourself I'm too clever 
Really who's better than the new fella 
You feel obligated to tell your friends about 
Suggesting to get a bit of The RaRitys vibe in them 
Ride with him from C.L. to 3rd Ward then to River Oaks 
My thrilling quotes will give them the energy needed 
To fill their souls 
Where it comes from is the source 
We all have at our disposal 
We just don't all feel the force 
Yeah

I thank the Lord every single day 
For an opportunity to see clear 
And afford to simply be here 
For real I'm only being sincere


I did it I do it 
I'm not done doing 
This music soothing you and him 
Choosing to tune in 
Doing it for Houston 
Tonight feeling superfly 
As you and I ride through 
The entire universe how we like to
Tonight you and I feeling Superfly 
Good luck finding a truer vibe 
Before you die

Act like you already knew 
What it is that I do 

Here we go 

Its The RaRity 
Aka the Living Reminder 
Let me explain 

I received the glimpse of the way today
And I really don't know what to say 
To make you believe this life is a blessing 
THe type of info most people keep forgetting 
So I'll be known as a living reminder Giving the mind more of the light your soul seeks to see 
Though you might not even know this to be the case 
Time is too precious to waste 
I make the most of my days 
While outside in the rays 
And the night with the stars 
I write the kind of bars 
That take us past Mars 
In the blink of an eye 
I'll get you thinking you're high 
When you receive me while streaming Speaking this fly 
Truth is I don't really even try Enthusiasm cannot be forced 
The same goes for the feeling of remorse 
I don't record to spend weeks at a resort
I do it to free the mind 
Currently seeing mine 
As I'm treating yall to the show 
Of a flow engulfed with the glow 
I can always get to know better 
My goals to be Houston's hardest hitting goal getter 
Who's so clever 
You'll be seeking my advice for no cheddar 
While I'm contemplating whether
I should charge an arm in a leg 
For the knowledge and charm many thank me for already 
Cus if you all get me 
Y'all will never forget me 
I've accepted my destiny 
And now realize everything presently happening was meant to be definitely Ecstasy tends to be what you expect from me 
I'm presenting the pressing issue of peace 
Much needed behind beats (no)
Though  It is needed in the streets (oh for sure)
My only goal isn't to preach 
But I must in order to reach 
Beyond the Galveston beach 
For us to succeed and proceed 
There's no need for greed 
On this home team homie

Listen Up
Its The RaRity 

Ohhh Yeah

'Univeral Sound Part 1'

Y'all know I'm Still Growing
We're all Still Growing

I don't give a damn how old you are
Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually 

Hopefully your growing in the right direction..

It's been a crazy year when I look back on it (it has) 
I might be grown but I'm still growing
From what I'm going through 
And showing you
I try to come out the other side 
Of every trial a better man
A more clever man
A soon to be veteran 
Yes, God tested my limits
Made me question my existence 
Like, 'Why do I continually resist
That which will bring me bliss?'
If I can stick it out
And pick a style
That's all my own
Where no one 
Can tell me to get gone
Until all of y'all are calm
And can see life's the bomb
Even when your going through some downs
At least your here to go through them
My alter-egos 'The RaRity' I'll introduce to you to him
Through music representing Houston

I speak my mind
So you can see why
We need to hit rewind

ALL Time Equals NOW

Feel the sound as it pounds
And has all our heads bobbing up and down
Stop this is not a mirage
Its my job to drop hot Hip-Hop 
Out of my mouth for the South
To observe, learn, then shout out loud
I got them proud I'm on the prowl 
With an old school style 
Rich as Cristal 
This is a song full of heart
And so much soul 
But most will never know 
About the force in my voice
Or why I was chose to play with the pros
Who the heck knows
Why I present flows
Special as an athlete getting a medal
He or She worked so hard for
Enjoy the moment but always strive for more
Not in a greedy way
What I mean may make you and I dream
About the same thing
About how the crowns for the taking
And what I'm saying might actually make it
Enough boasting from the one hosting
Before I go I will show them
No matter our age we're all still growing

I try to find my mind
From time to time
Line by line without lying 
I'm aligning my life with the light 
Shining bright its quite suffice
To guide the sight of my eyes
In times when they want to cry
Causing me to sigh 
Coming across as shy
Get to know about the guy from the Chi
I might go back to my old rap style
That's if I want an instant tap out 
Now I can laugh out loud 
Watching that smile
Stretch as wide as the Nile
The rhythm I pick to compile
Has a bit of kick like Kung Pao Chicken
If it isn't one style
Isn't another just as wild
By the time you reach the next mile
It'll be time for my exile
Check this out 
My impressive sound
Gets us all to accept the song
If it helps us through a problem
With problems we all got them
From paradise to Gotham 
Politicking is not what I wanted
Still somehow I got involved
With the quote unquote "wrong crowd"
That wouldn't make my Dad or Mom proud
It's not about chalking up another loss
Its about learning at all cost
Pondering what you saw
While on a jog and caught in the fog
No matter how hard or far we fall
We can always call on God
A lesson thats been taught and forgot
More often than not
This is one more reminder 
Its worth a shot
For sure why not 
Don't Stop 
KEEP GIVING IT EVERYTHING YOU GOT
And remember
No matter our age We're ALL Still Growing
And also, the spotlight is ALWAYS ON
